Abstract:
The presented scientific study deals with the environmental and energetic aspects concerning application of the experimental fuels in high-powerful engines. This study analyses the most important results from the experimental tests realised on the motorbike engine in the case of two testing regimes: at first using a standardly produced combustion engine and then with the adjusted engine configuration designed in order to improve efficiency of the combustion process. There were tested and compared each other three different engine fuels in framework of the presented research work. The first fuel was the top experimental fuel 4-SGP, which is world-widely applied in the motorbike competitions. The second fuel was the experimental and sustainable fuel, which is called superethanol E-85. This fuel was developed in order to reach the highest power output and the lowest engine gaseous emissions. The third was a standard fuel, which is normally at disposal. Besides that, there were created also the experimental fuel mixtures. Their power output and emissions were tested, too.
